No, a `normal USB Power brick´ doesn't suffice.
It has to reliably provide 5 volts and at least 700mA (depending on your Pi model and peripherals). The Pi is more sensible to the voltage than the amperage.
See http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Power_adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Power_adapters for reliable information about that.
The Raspberry Pi forums are filled with "90% of the time it's the power supply not up to the specs, please check the specs" messages for any power and `random crashes´ related problems.
